For some reason, this is hilarious to me. I'm adopting "we got the shoes" as my new catch phrase. Whenever something good happens, "we got the shoes!" I encourage all of you to do the same.

So I was at Target returning a radio that didn't work. The guy in front of me was returning the new Joe -pack. He wa stammering over his words. I told the lady helping him that I was collector and to let me look at it because I might buy it. The guy returning it got this real nervous look on his face. I looked it over and immediately noticed that the Snake-Eyes and Timber had been replaced with the ones from the Mass device DVD pack. Also Flint's lower arms had been swapped with the ones from a single-card Shipwreck (the freakin skin tone didn't even match) and Hawk's head had swapped with Tunnel Rat. I explained all of this to the lady at the service desk and she refused to accept the return. He gave me one of those "go to you know where" looks and to pour salton the wpound I said "Maybe you should try being one of us honest collectors for a change." I wish I'd had my camera with me. The look on his face when I told the lady about his thievery was priceless.

cuffs dont actually mean you were arrested. i got pulled over smoking bud 2 weeks ago and the cop cuffed me and had me standing behind my truck. due to the fact i threw the bud out before pulling over, there was nothing but a wonderfull smell in the air.
luckly he just gave me a speeding ticket and let me go. this would prob be the same for the repacker.a shoplifting ticket |

I love how it's no big deal to steal from a store, but if some one stole from you, would it still be no big deal? Theft is theft, and to be so condoning of it just because you are not the victim is pretty pathetic. As a business owner, I can tell you that no loss is "acceptable". People are assholes so it happens, that does not make it right. The argument that stealing an item and replacing it with something of a lesser value is not theft is BS. By that logic it would be ok if I stole your car as long as I left you a big wheel in it's place. Even little crimes like this contribute to making this a shitty society, and this attitude of self centered apathy makes it all the worse. Try thinking outside you own narrow view of the world once in a while. Not only is theft unfair to the business providing the product, it is unfair to everyone who works to pay for the things they want. To be so arrogant that you believe you deserve to take what you want for free, is disgusting. Show some F-ing integrity.

theres no way someones getting arrested for repacking they dont even look in the boxes when you return them, I have a friend that does it everywhere and he switches all the figures. As long as theres figures in the box they dont care, their not going to take the time to check them out, they dont care! My girlfriend took back a box set that I already had and she said that all they did was scan it and gave her back her money, so yeah thats all bull. Maybe he gotcaught trying to steal some, if its even true.

Its not stealing at all as long as theres figures in the box then how is it stealing?, I worked in a store where they took all the toys that someone would try to steal and throw them away, theyd just say the items were stolen so they got credit. I got so many joes back in the day for free it was ridiculous. If they gave them to me and said pitch them I took them, no way they were going in the trash, they werent even open! So not theft, my friend worked at KB Toys and if someone returned repacks they just marked them down and resold them. Sorry its not theft. Not like u cant sell them.
